About this study

Official title: Analysis of the Occurrence Time of Bone Metastasis and Disease Treatment Patterns in Patients with Breast Cancer Bone Metastasis: a Retrospective Study from China

By analyzing the clinical data of patients with advanced breast cancer with bone metastasis admitted to our center from January 1, 2021 to February 28, 2023, this study aims to understand the real-world clinical diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer with bone metastasis, including the epidemiology of bone metastasis, screening and diagnosis methods, selection of clinical treatment methods, and occurrence of SRE. To explore the risk factors related to bone metastasis-free survival (BMFI). In addition, we will explore the use of quantitative analysis of CT values to evaluate bone metastases of breast cancer, aiming to provide a new method for imaging quantitative efficacy evaluation of bone metastases.

Read the detailed description

The specific contents of our research include the basic information of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis in the early stage, neoadjuvant therapy, surgery and postoperative pathology, and adjuvant therapy; The time and location of recurrence and metastasis, treatment plan, and information related to bone metastasis include time, location, diagnosis method, treatment, occurrence of SRE, and changes in CT values of bone lesions before and after drug treatment. The objective is to understand the risk factors of bone metastasis-free survival (BMFI) of breast cancer patients with bone metastases in the real world, provide evidence and data for clinical accurate screening, observe the CT value changes of bone lesions through imaging (CT quantitative), and explore a new method for evaluating the efficacy of bone metastases.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Bone metastasis-free interval (BMFI) of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis

    Bone metastasis-free interval (BMFI) is the time between diagnosis of breast cancer and the onset of bone metastases

    Measured: From the diagnosis of breast cancer to the occurrence of bone metastasis,assessed up to 100 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of participants with Clinical features of bone metastasis

    Clinical characteristics of patients with bone metastasis include age, menstrual status, body mass index (BMI), presence or non-presence of underlying disease, tumor location, primary tumor size, number of lymph node metastases, TNM stage, pathologic type, histological classification, vascular thrombus invasion, estrogen receptor (ER) status, progesterone receptor (PR) status, and other factors. Human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2) expression, Ki-67 level, whether chemotherapy and radiotherapy, recurrence and metastasis time, recurrence and metastasis site.

    Measured: From the diagnosis of breast cancer to the conclusion of the study period,assessed up to 100 months

  2. Changes of CT values of bone lesions before and after treatment with bone protective drugs

    CT value selection method: A professional physician manually selected a region of interest (ROI) for a single bone metastatic lesion, and recorded the mean value of CT value, which was expressed in Hounsfield units (HU). The ROI difference of the same bone metastasis before and after treatment was not more than ±10mm2

    Measured: From the start of treatment with bone care drugs to 1 year

  3. Patterns of bone metastasis in the center

    The time of bone metastasis were included

    Measured: rom the diagnosis of breast cancer to the occurrence of bone metastasis,assessed up to 100 months

  4. Occurrence of bone-related events

    Skeleton-relative Events (SREs) include pathological fractures, spinal cord compression, bone surgery, and radiation therapy

    Measured: From the diagnosis of breast cancer to the occurrence of bone-related events,assessed up to 100 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Breast Cancer Metastatic, run by Zhejiang Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Bone metastasis-free interval (BMFI) of breast cancer patients with bone metastasis (time frame: From the diagnosis of breast cancer to the occurrence of bone metastasis,assessed up to 100 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Mar 2025.
